Abstract

BACKGROUND: Intensive task-oriented training has shown promise in enhancing distal motor function among patients with chronic stroke. A personalized electromyography (EMG)-driven soft robotic hand was developed to assist task-oriented object-manipulation training effectively. To compare the effectiveness of task-oriented training using the EMG-driven soft robotic hand.
